To the Editor:

I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for this year’s Christmas parade—it was truly one of the best I’ve seen in years! From start to finish, it was an event filled with joy and community spirit.

One of the highlights was the generous gesture of Storehouse Coffee, who offered free refreshments to everyone who came by. It was a thoughtful touch that added to the festive atmosphere.

This year’s parade seemed longer than usual, and that was a wonderful thing! There were so many beautiful, creative floats that made it clear how much effort and pride the participants put into their displays. It was also heartwarming to see so many fire departments, Franklin, Hunterdale, Capron, Sedley, Boykins, to Carrsville, come together. Their show of unity and support really made the parade special.

Of course, one of my favorite parts of the parade was the high school marching bands. They always bring such energy and excitement, and this year was no exception. Their music and enthusiasm were simply fantastic!

All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this year’s parade. A huge thank you to the City of Franklin, The Department of Parks and Recreation and all the participants who made this year’s event so memorable. Great job to everyone involved! I’m already looking forward to next year.
